They're looking badass overall!

you are one of my forum heroes, always great grabs

Thanks @madmonday Always nice to be appreciated.

Thanks for the positive comments guys, and glad you like them. As to the crepe soles, I realise that they're not everyone's favourite but I personally don't mind them. To me, they give the boots more of a casual look. As others have noted, the construction on these RMC boots is amazing. What the pictures don't show is how comfortable the boots are as well. Out of the box, these are some of the most comfortable boots I've ever tried.

That isn't a crepe sole. Looks like a 'Christy' from Vibram. Very comfortable!

I'm surprised as this type of sole is surely a modern invention as opposed to the RMC style of reproduction.

It seems that "wedge sole" is a common term to describe this type of sole. I'm certainly no expert, but Red Wing have apparently been using this type of sole since at least the 1950's. See:

The soles on these boots are not made by Vibram but by the RMC themselves.

I had no idea the crepe wedge sole was that old. Learn something new every day…

Vest and boots are RMC…

^Stellar out(fit)

I stand corrected.

I always think of a 'crepe sole' as being the layered translucent rubber types popularised by Clarks.

such a simple but solid look @Qinhan! I really dig the two tone of boots and the jeans are spot on!
However, that vest!!! I don't think you could get a better fit if they made it specifically for you!! it's a killer, well done sir

Qinhan

Thanks! @mahlon321

My wife tells me that this vest makes me look like a hairdresser. Make of that what you will.

Anyone know what's going on with the NYC store/US web store?

I think I read it on another forum but basically they're searching for a new physical store location for the RMC store in New York City, so the website is shut down temporarily.

Boots are not mine. Great Evo but crepe Sole is sloughing after 2 month of use.

Enjoy ya addiction!

:o … that's annoying for such an expensive boot

My guy says RMC has scaled faster than their QA can handle. Totally unfounded but seems to be a few more isolated instances popping up than previously seen..

Qinhan

Gotta say, I've never had any QA issues with RMC ever and I've probably got about 12-15 of their items, many of which are $1000+ retail. Hoping that these aren't anything other than isolated incidents.

Hmmm…a few months back, I was at RMC Tokyo store trying to buy the N1 boots but the tone of left and right boots were different. They then requested another pair from Kobe HQ, twice cos the 2nd pair also didn't match. I went back twice! All 3 pairs didn't match. But a size smaller is fine.

The Real McCoys (jp) has the worst web store ever. Love the gear but the site is like a jerry Bruckheimer production, too much flash.

everything shows in stock but isn't available when you try to buy

I need the blue chambray oxford 001 in size 16 to replace my too large 17 I love this shirt soo much I think I might be willing to pay NY or London town prices maybe :-\
